Behind Door Number One...

Uh huh, met the first of the date list.......in the funniest situation ever but I have to give the guy kudos for having balls. Bear with me and you will see why.

On Monday night my girlfriend whom I have known since I was 13 and I went to see 'Train' in concert. As it was not far from my work we decided to meet at a local pub, have a bite and a wee drink and then head on over to the venue. I had purchased 3 tickets and while we thought we had a third person joining us,on the morning of the concert he bailed .....so anyway my friend and I are sitting at the pub chatting, we are both single and using the same dating site...........it was bound to happen wasnt it?!! We compared notes and discovered one of the guys is talking to both of us..........que hilarious laughter at the same lines he is using on both of us. Ok so having had a drink we decided this could be all a bit of time to have some fun.
Out comes the cell phone and said guy "Freddie" is called by moi, who chatted politely for a minute then passed the phone over to my friend who also chatted politely to a very embarrassed "Freddie" , then taking it further and having a spare ticket we say to him, spare ticket here do you want to see this concert with us tonight? He was a very brave, or stupid man because he said yes.
Anyhoo "Freddie" arrived at the pub and as planned beforehand both my friend and I stood up and gave him a peck on the cheek simultaneously, he went bright red and you could see the poor wee souls mind spinning. Much laughter by my friend and I and much blushing and stammering from Freddie ensued. Gotta give the man credit for even turning up, his flatmates had told him he was taking his life in his hands.
We all went to the concert and had a great time, poor "Freddie" looked slightly nervous all night however and he text us both on his way home with the same line yet again ...which made my friend and I laugh even harder at this poor guy as we were on our phones laughing about the whole scenario at the time. I think he had hoped during the course of the evening he was going to get to live some kind of male menage `a trois fantasy. Silly man!
Ok so my friend and I have no interest in "Freddie" at all but it made for a fun story and the concert rocked. I think I might wait for Pat Monahan to divorce his wife and come looking for me now anyway.

Brokering World Peace.

So, back on the dating scene am I. Had a couple if interesting ones, had a couple of truely awkward moments and had some who havent even got off the screen into real life and never will.
No keepers yet! Although one who seemed very sweet by daylight....we walked our dogs on the beach together and he held out his hand to help me over the slippery rocks, such a gentleman, turned into a somewhat beer swilling maniac by night on the second date and then offered the information he drinks too much and this has caused problems in past relationships...........oh great! Why send a cute guy who seems so sweet and lovely, and then slap that into the mix.....thanks universe!!!!!!!
One would think that if you know you do it, and it does get in the way, you would make some effort to STOP!!!

Right now this is what is on offer for me in the way of "lets meet!!" over the next week or so.....

1. A Dr from Jordan.
2. A sweet looking Argentinian Boy who is 17 yrs younger than me. Roarrrr @ me a cougar,too funny
3. An English lad
4. One who says he is Persian but I think he's Indian , whatever!!
5. A Frenchman who is 5 years younger than me....(really this cougar thing is a bit much)
6. An Aussie Bloke (good keen men Aussies) lol
7. A dutch guy (not going to happen)
8. A good old hometown kiwi boy 5 years younger than me (again whats with the young ones wanting to meet me???)

And well I thought maybe I could start a new UN with this lot and broker world peace as an outcome.
So this is me teeing up my social calendar for the next week or so. I havent been this busy since I was ....well much much younger than I am now lol.

All this means I am going to be very coffee'd or in my case tea'd or Wined out by the end of this round.
Still I must not complain when World Peace is at stake. Yeah!

Cinderella wants her Slipper back

Oh My oh my. Senior school ball time over the weekend. My gorgeous son wanted to wear all black and picked out the fabric for mum to make his tie, then it was all "oh mum I need one of those matching pocket hankie thingy's too please. So ok Damn! suit hire is expensive at School Ball time, and there was new shirt, socks and dress shoes of course because when your son lives in jandals , sneakers or soccerboots there is just no need for swanky smart shoes. I owe my wallet an IOU.

So anyway there is Benny all gussied up and looking every bit his age and more and there's mum in the corner with a tear in her eye cause her little man isnt anymore but boy oh boy! he looked so smart.

Normally I dont get to see this, I get the smelly manky soccer gear, jeans that should have been washed a month ago and a bedroom that is a swamphole. To see him all dressed up was lovely. To see the photos taken on the night of all the fun and revellry, even better. Until I got to the 'afterball' party photos. Oh me Oh my.... mum sat there and said not a thing...........I was too damn busy scrapping my jaw off the floor lol. Still it wasnt so bad and he is after all 17 and a boy and there are some things a mum just doesnt need to be so aware of no? ANyway here is Ben looking very smart, and here is on the way to the afterball function.....take note this is on the way to, you dont want to see the pictures from the actual event itself. lol.
